Looking East: A Suite in Three Parts
Looking East: A Suite in Three Parts is a double album by American jazz trumpeter Raphe Malik featuring a quartet with reedman Sabir Mateen, bassist Larry Roland and drummer Codaryl "Cody" Moffett, which was released on the Boxholder label. The album documents a concert performance organized by the Boston Creative Music Alliance in 1999. Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Eugene Chadbourne states "Trumpeter Malik leads his quartet through an extended composition in a half-dozen sections, exhibiting superb timing, a sense of drama, and impeccable taste in his associates."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "Malik is in top form, but Mateen tends to go off at half-cock, and very abrasive half-cock at that, which just encourages Moffet to go mad."[2] The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe says "Malik is a powerful player with a bright brassy sound deployed in darting, fizzing lines and heraldic fanfares."[3] In his review for JazzTimes Aaron Steinberg notes "Malik leaves the greatest print on the music. His brash, wide-stroke trumpet sound is highlighter-tip thick compared to most ball-point trumpet blurts, and his contributions range from fluttering strings of high notes to swaggering low notes, or fragments of boppish lines delivered with confidence and kick."[4] Track listingAll compositions by Raphe Malik.
